Fix switch-to-buffer?

Eg make it call pop-to-buffer-same-window in the non-interactive-case?
Then make a new function
switch-to-buffer-sometimes-fails-and-you-probably-dont-want-this
that does what the old version used to?

Since you say above that "most" calls to switch-to-buffer were wrong,
why not fix the majority by fixing switch-to-buffer, and let the
minority of cases which need to do something different do so, if and
when it turns out to matter?
